We got to sleep in today. The beds here were sooo much more comfortable then in Switzerland. Dad got up early to read Harry Potter. He finished the book (it was the 1st one), and asked me question after question, and the answers werent until the 7th book, so I told him to read it himself, and he told me to quit being so damn rude. We drove around Hage to see what it was like. THen we went to Norddeich to grocery shop because everything in Hage was closed today. At one point dad pulled us aside and was like, "just listen. See, there is very little noise in this store. I can hear you girls from the other end of the store, so keep it down, we dont need everyone to know we're here". We overdid it on the groceries today. We are going to have to eat like pigs this week to get rid of all the food we bought. And it only came out to 58Euros! Food here is so cheap! But people are pushy, and thats annoying. Some lady who didnt have as many groceries as us just walked ahead of us, and went through the till first. We would have let her, but she should have waited for us to OFFER, dont just budge. Ugh. Anyways, we came home and unpacked, then dad had a little nap while the rest of us looked at all our Europe pictures so far. Mom then got her cooler and sat out on the balcony in the sun with her book. All of a sudden she calls me saying there is a boy nextdoor smoking who looks about my age. I start walking to the balcony when Shelby runs by, pushes me, and says, "you have a BOYFRIEND!" (Shelby...when you read this, you cant deny this happened). I felt like we havent had contact with people our age in forever, because we spent the next like half an hour spying. We even got out the binnoculars. How pathetic are we? We had a huge salad, then just lounged around. Mom and dad went for a walk, and Shelby, Siri and I played cards out on the balcony and listened to music for hours. We played Rhianna's "SOS" until dad sang along. Then we came inside, attempted to watch our Europe video, then went to bed.
